Album Of The Day: Songs From The Riverhouse by Robert Vaughn & The Shadows

Album Art of Robert Vaughn and The Shadows's Songs From The Riverhouse album - A black-and-white photo of a man in a black coat with a black cowboy hat on is pictured from above, showing his front and and the acoustic guitar he is holding and playing. Not much else is seen in the photo, except maybe some design of some cloth below the guitar. Printed in the bottom left corner is the band name and below it the album title in smaller red letters. In the top center, it has a red box that says 'Remastered Limited Reissue'.

An independent rock release from the early 1990s, this was re-released last year for a limited run of vinyl for the backers of a crowdfunding campaign. With two LPs and a long runtime, this release doesn't have the cohesive feel and the quality rock vibe that their previous album had, in my opinion. The previous album, Love & War, which was released by Island Records, was more solid overall and at 10 tracks, didn't have lots of filler songs. But still, these are not bad songs and there are more varieties of styles represented, from a bit country-tinged pop to more straight '80s blues rock. If you are looking for some rock from about 35 years ago that no one's ever heard of, try this album. It's pretty good. This release is not on streaming, but can be listened to and bought at their Bandcamp store.

Release Year: 1991

Album Art of Robert Vaughn and The Shadows's Songs From The Riverhouse album - The original 1991 CD cover artwork, a black-and-white photo of a young man with long, blonde hair on the left who is wearing a black jacket, black hat, and is playing an acoustic guitar. On the right, in the distance can be seen a woman in a cocktail dress with her face obscured mostly in shadow and her arms on each side of her head. In the bottom right, written askew in red ink is the album title.
